I hope everyone's New Year is off to a good start!
I need to provide a backup solution for a customer for his website's
SQL database. He says his people can't handle using ftp to download
the files to the desktop. Not that FTP would help for an SQL
database, but this gives you an idea of the situation.
I wrote a VB application that uses inet to connect to the SQL
database, and copies the data one record at a time to Access databases
on the desktop (after first emptying them). This works fine except
some records seems to have funky data that causes errors, and the
files take forever to download. My customer wants to do a daily
download, but it looks like it will take most of a day to do the
download! The tables are pretty big!
I s this the best way to do this? My customer would prefer a webpage
that does the download, but I've never tried to copy anything to a
customer's computer from the web, and wouldn't this still require
copying the records into an Access database, this time on the server?
Thanks,
Diane
